Hi Guys,
I recently aquired a NSU which the previous owner had bought over 20 years ago which he had never tried to start and had stood in a museum for some time before that.
It reputedly saw service at a anti-aircraft battery in Northern France, the owner believing the year of manufacture to be 1937 and the capacity to be 500cc.
The machine carries a reg. no. WL742161 with frame and engine numbers 10986** and 3375** respectively, and looks very similar to the NSU OSL501 model, which I believe was produced from about 1930 onwards.
Information about these machines appears to be difficult to find, a Google search yielding less than 20 results with all of these being in German.
If anyone could point me towards information on the model or even be able to relate personal experience of a similar machine, I would be very grateful.
When the weather improves a little, I will take some photographs and post them.
A big thank-you to all who read this and I look forward to learning some more about this interesting machine.
Best Regards.
Alex.
